Rybka disqualified and banned from WCCC

[Harvey Williamson]

No i mean that the world chess championship can not only depend on if somebody else raise or not an issue. Suppose Fabian did not raised the issue, there must be another rules that had discovered rybka or any other program from cheating.

Anyone can make an official complaint.

What i mean is that if nobody makes an official complaint a cheating software can go on and on playing the world chess champinship. So there must be another type of rules and not just sit and wait until somebody makes an official complaint.

You can not expect volunteers to spend weeks looking at every engine so there has to be a way to decide which to look at.

The way to decide wich to look at is what the organizers of the world chess championship must come up with.

An interview with vas

[Bryan Whitby]

Thanks Harvey
Not really an Andrew Marr interview was it.

Yes thanks Harvey for that.

Well having watched all of it, a few things stand out in my eyes,

1) Vas must have been living on another planet for the last 6-12months, he didn't even know it was Fabien who complained against him and seemed unaware of a few other points Nelson made.

2) When asked what did he make of being called a cheat, he replied;...." i dont care anymore, i did at first but now talking about it is just like talking about the weather."

It was the last point that really made me dislike him more than i did already. His answers to a lot of Nelson's questions were really a load of drivel with no real substance. I don't know what others on here think, but its worth a look.

Also the scratch of the nose at a few points in the video, classic body language of being deceitful.

An interesting development:

"License Compliance Engineer, Free Software Foundation (to Fabien)"]I reviewed the analysis of the similarities between Fruit and Rybka, and found it pretty compelling. I think this is something that we could absolutely pursue as a compliance case."

[ricard60]

In the interview he says: "It is true i did take a number of things from fruit" but he also says: " This is something i discuss it many times". With whom he discuss it?

no clear interview regards

That will put a real nail/spike/stake in the Rybka/Fruit coffin if the FSF drives it home. I hope they do. Let's put this Frankenstein Monstrosity to bed.
